    Because you are redirecting to a route instead of a path, the required
    option is called ``route`` in the ``redirect()`` action, instead of ``path``
    in the ``urlRedirect()`` action.

+Keeping the Request Method when Redirecting
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The redirections performed in the previous examples use the ``301`` and ``302``
+HTTP status codes. For legacy reasons, these HTTP redirections change the method
+of ``POST`` requests to ``GET`` (because redirecting a ``POST`` request didn't
+work well in old browsers).
+
+However, in some scenarios it's either expected or required that the redirection
+request uses the same HTTP method. That's why the HTTP standard defines two
+additional status codes (``307`` and ``308``) to perform temporary/permanent
+redirects that maintain the original request method.
+
+The :method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\RedirectController::urlRedirectAction`
+and :method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\RedirectController::redirectAction`
+methods accept an additional argument called ``keepRequestMethod``. When it's
+set to ``true``, temporary redirects use ``307`` code instead of ``302`` and
+permanent redirects use ``308`` code instead of ``301``::
